Downey Community Health Center

I have been here to visit a family friend a few times and everyone employee I met was very helpful and courteous. Also a very clean facility and great care!

I was a patient in this facility after knee replacements. The staff was outstanding and very attentive to all of my needs. The food was very good. Also, it was very clean and well managed. I felt very comfortable in this facility, and would highly recommend to anyone

This place is HORRIBLE! I wouldn’t put my worst enemy here, or maybe I would! The nurses don’t care about their patients. When you ask for help, they are all too busy gossiping and laughing with each other. My grandfather stood there shortly until we removed him. He had a diaper rash, fever and rash but we were never told! When we went to remove his belongings we found pants with poop in them, stuck to the pants. I have witnessed other patients there crying in the hallway, and when I reported the poor old lady they ignored her! They need to have their own family members placed in this home so they can realize that everyone needs proper care and attention!!!

There are no flat screen TV’s, unless you bring your own. My in laws have been both here after surgery and regard. Foods yuky, they won’t eat it. Too many people looking sad.

My loved ones stays at this facility and I wish that it didn’t always smell like poop the moment you enter the door into the facility. I’m glad they fired that Social Worker that was stealing money and items from the helpless, sick, elderly people. What kind of background checks do you people have??? They are on the Nursing Home Watchlist:

My grandfather spent one night in this facility and ended up being transferred to the hospital due to lack of assessment by the SN. The one small trash can in his room was overflowing with used gloves and towels and various items of trash, they had no modern hospital beds to speak of (he was in the old– fashioned crank bed) where you have to crank it up and down. THE RN DID NOT ASSESS HIM. The CNA was the one listening to his breath sounds (that’s only for a skilled nurse — LVN o RN — to do). The patients looked downright miserable; some were calling for help. He was only there for rehabilitation but ended up hospitalized… NEVER AGAIN. I wouldn’t house my pets there! When I called the administrator to complain his answer was that he has 190 patients and 200 employees, and that he works in the billing office. «I don’t mop floors, I don’t change diapers, and I don’t give injections.» Those were the EXACT WORDS of Richard the Administrator. He is in charge of the whole place. That explained everything to me.

This place is tragic. It is crowded ! They don’t listen to patients requests, some of the LVN’s are rude, and unfriendly some even verbally abuse the patients, others go ignored. I would not recommend this place.

This is a convalescent home and rehabilitation for senior citizens. Very clean, alot of staff, the seniors get there food like clock work. Bilingual staff. Some friendly, some not. A lot of parking. 3 beds to a room. Patients can be here temporarily or indefinitely, what ever the family decides.
